Woolworth Plans To Stay Put

NOTES

August 21, 1989

Jaymont Realty's plans will mean some of the area's retail will leave. McCrory's, after 45 years of business, already plans to leave its Orange Avenue and Pine Street store in January. But Woolworth's has no such plans in mind. Bill Judy, vice president for F.W. Woolworth Co.'s Woolworth's division, said the store still has more than 30 years on its lease. And even if the Jaymont development closes the store, Judy said there is no reason why Woolworth's can't return to downtown at another location.
